Environmental Policy
Serigraph Inc. believes that environmental stewardship is a corporate responsibility. Serigraph shall manage its operations in a manner that reflects
continual environmental improvement
of the air, land, and water. To achieve this, Serigraph shall establish a framework for setting and
reviewing environmental objectives and targets
.
Bio-Filter Operation
Serigraph Manufacturing VOC laden air from Printroom
Reservoir Reservoir
Humidification Chamber Takes air temp from 130 °F to 75 °F and adds humidity to 100% Humid air spreads over bark media which helps micro-organisims "eat" VOCs

Energy Reduction
Water Consumption - Process Flow to find waste; Actions to eliminate Pareto of where Electrical consumption is used; Change lighting which accounts for 22% of cost Analyze where and what causes Natural gas consumption variation and how better controls can be implemented

Problem Solving
Define - find improvement opportunities that emphasize the greatest needs Measure - determine current process capability; Process Flow / Map Analyze - identify vital few process inputs that affect key process outputs – Pareto, C-E, DOE

Problem Solving
Improve - Make changes to process settings, redesign processes, reduce number of defects, amount of waste Control - Implement process control plans, install real-time process monitoring tools, standardize processes, error proof processes
